Chapter 235: Cursed Gold Coins
"Ahh Elizabeth! ”
Governor Swan put down the teacup that had been placed on his lips, greeted him happily, and gave his daughter a big hug.
Elizabeth frowned slightly, and reluctantly hugged Governor Swan.
The straps that had been in vogue from Lundun were so tight that Elizabeth felt uncomfortable even standing still.
Governor Swan said with great interest: "My precious daughter, you are so glorious today! This dress that Dad bought you is so beautiful! You know, that's what the ladies of the upper class of Lundun are wearing! ”
Elizabeth smiled wryly and said, "Don't the women of Lundun eat?" ”
Governor Swan asked, puzzled, "Why do you ask?" ”
Elizabeth said helplessly: "It's nothing, Dad, aren't we going to James's promotion ceremony, then hurry up." ”
When she spoke, she didn't pay any attention to Will and Xu Feng.
After all, she is the "princess" who rises high, the jewel of the supreme ruler of this island.
And she was a little irritable and uncomfortable now, she didn't want to communicate with any strangers, she just wanted to end the ritual quickly, and then go back to the room and take off this "torture device" used to please the men.
Governor Swan was not in a hurry, he took Elizabeth's hand and said with a smile: "When I finish negotiating the price with Will, it will be fine immediately, you can go to the carriage and wait for me first." ”
Elizabeth was slightly stunned, "Will? Which Will? ”
Will cleared his throat and said with a nervous face, "Miss Swan, it's me, Will Turner." ”
Elizabeth's blue eyes lit up, she looked carefully at the neat and handsome Will, and said with surprise on her face: "Is it really you?" Will! Which little boy was beaten up by me and cried!? ”
When Elizabeth was young, Will often came to the Doge's Palace to play with her, Elizabeth played the royal navy every time, and Will was asked to play the pirate, so every time there would be a scene of a group of noble sailors fighting pirates, and Will would always be beaten to tears.
At that time, every day Will spent was extremely sad.
However, Will is kind-hearted and doesn't dwell on it, after all, it's just a child's game.
And, most importantly, Elizabeth is his real savior.
If it weren't for Elizabeth, he would have been put to death.
Later, as the children grew up, Elizabeth was asked by Governor Swan to learn etiquette and knowledge, and she never saw Will again, but Will had seen Elizabeth a few times on the road, but at that time Elizabeth was sitting in a luxurious carriage, and occasionally traveled with James Norrington, so Will did not dare to go up to say hello.
Now that he can face Elizabeth again, Will feels so helpless that he has forgotten how to breathe.
That's what it's like to face true love.
Love can make smart people stupid and clumsy, just bent on pleasing each other, no matter what the price will be.
“…… Yes, Miss Swan, it's me, but...... I've never been beaten to tears. Will didn't want to leave a weak impression on his sweetheart.
Elizabeth smiled happily, "I'm so glad to meet you!" Don't call me Miss Swan, just call me Elizabeth as you used to! That's right! You know, one of the amazing things is that I dreamed of you last night! ”
"Me?" Will was taken aback, not understanding why Elizabeth was playing such a joke on him.
Is it to tease him?
It's not like that.
Elizabeth's eyes were full of sincerity.
Governor Swann on the side frowned and cleared his throat, "Elizabeth, you are like this...... Not very dignified. ”
Elizabeth said indifferently: "Will is not an outsider, he is my friend!" Right, Will? ”
Governor Swan grimaced.
Will bowed and said, "Miss Swan, I would like to be your faithful servant. ”
If possible, he would rather be a real servant of Elizabeth!
He was even willing to be a lamb and stay by her side, so that she could take the thin leather whip and gently beat him every day...... Huh? Why are you singing?
Elizabeth took out a golden gold coin necklace from the heart of the lady's dress, and said in a low voice, "Will, you remember this." ”
Will's face tightened.
This gold coin was mailed to him by his pirate father, Bill Turner.
His mother did not spend it, but asked a goldsmith to set the gold coin in the necklace and put it on Little Will as a talisman.
On the obverse of this coin is a skull representing horror, and around the skull are ancient Indian cultural symbols.
When Will Turner's mother died of illness, and when Little Will went out alone to look for his father, he met Visby Swan, who happened to be on his way to Port Royal.
Governor Swan's men checked every passerby, and any pirate was immediately hanged.
When it was time to check on Bill Turner, Elizabeth saw Will Turner's pirate gold coin, and she immediately took Will Turner's pirate gold coin and brought it with her.
The soldiers inspect civilians, but not Miss Swan, so Will Turner escapes.
Because of this, Elizabeth is his real savior.
The pirate gold coin was successfully worn on Elizabeth's body to this day.
Of course, Governor Swan also knew the identity of Will Turner, but Governor Swan was kind enough not to bother a child, and introduced him to Old Brown as an apprentice.
Will has always been grateful to the Swann family.
"Do you want to take it back?" Elizabeth asked.
Will hurriedly shook his head, "No, this is undoubtedly a shame for me, and it should be destroyed." ”
Xu Feng on the side smiled faintly, "This thing can't be destroyed." ”
Elizabeth noticed Xu Feng and asked suspiciously, "Who is this?" ”
Will hurriedly introduced, "This is my friend, Arthur. ”
Xu Feng politely bowed to Elizabeth.
Elizabeth returned the favor.
"Why do you say this coin can't be destroyed?" Elizabeth asked impatiently.
Xu Feng said lightly: "This kind of gold coin is called Aztec gold coin. ”
"Aztecs?" Elizabeth frowned and said, "The name...... I've heard of it before. ”
Xu Feng sneered and said, "You must have heard of it, because the Aztecs were not pirates, but an Indian people. In order to avoid being slaughtered, the Aztecs scraped together 3,000 Aztec gold coins to bribe the leader of the fleet at the time, Hernando Koster, in the hope of avoiding the war. ”
"However, the shameless invaders accepted the gold coins, but still carried out a brutal massacre against the Indians, leaving not a single man, woman, or child, even the infant baby. The entire Aztec tribe was completely exterminated. ”
"A moment before the extinction of the Aztecs, an Indian sorcerer sacrificed his life and cursed the bribe-taker."
"And these three thousand gold coins have become cursed gold coins."
